The Association Between Race and Risk of Covid-19 Hospitalization
Racial Disparities in Covid-19 Severity Are Partially Mediated by Chronic Stress-Evidence from a Large Integrated Healthcare System
The Association Between Black vs. White Race and 30-Day Hospitalization Among People Diagnosed with Covid-19 Within an Integrated Care Setting
Factor Analysis in Distinguishing Coronavirus Disease 2019 From Other Influenza-like Illness Using a Validated Patient-Reported Outcome Instrument FLU-PRO Plus
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: InFLUenza Patient-reported Outcome (FLU-PRO Plus) is a 34-item patient-reported outcome instrument designed to capture the intensity and frequency of viral respiratory symptoms. This study evaluates whether FLU-PRO Plus responses could discriminate between symptoms of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and influenza-like illness (ILI) with no COVID diagnosis, as well as forecast disease progression. METHODS: FLU-PRO Plus wa…
Management of Neck or Back Pain in Ambulatory Care
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: In recent years, 2 circumstances have changed provider-patient interactions in ambulatory care: (1) the replacement of virtual for in-person visits and (2) the COVID-19 pandemic. We studied the potential impact of each event on provider practice and patient adherence by comparing the frequency of the association of provider orders, and patient fulfillment of those orders, by visit mode and pandemic period, for incident neck …
Did Access to Ambulatory Care Moderate the Associations Between Visit Mode and Ancillary Services Utilization Across the Covid-19 Pandemic Period
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: In recent years, 2 circumstances changed provider-patient interactions in primary care: the substitution of virtual (eg, video) for in-person visits and the COVID-19 pandemic. We studied whether access to care might affect patient fulfillment of ancillary services orders for ambulatory diagnosis and management of incident neck or back pain (NBP) and incident urinary tract infection (UTI) for virtual versus in-person visits. …
Impact of Covid-19 on Trends in Outpatient Clinic Utilization
BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic forced many US health care organizations to shift from mostly in-person care to a hybrid of virtual visits (VV) and in-person visits (IPV). While there was an expected and immediate shift to virtual care (VC) early in the pandemic, little is known about trends in VC use after restrictions eased. METHODS: This is a retrospective study using data from 3 health care systems. All completed visits from adult primary c…
Health-care–Related Practices in Virtual Behavioral Health Treatment for Major Depression Before and During the Covid-19 Pandemic
BACKGROUND: The abrupt shift to virtual care at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic had the potential to disrupt care practices in virtual behavioral health encounters. We examined changes over time in virtual behavioral health-care-related practices for patient encounters with diagnoses of major depression. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study utilized electronic health record data from 3 integrated health care systems. Inverse probability of…
Virtual Care and Urinary Tract Infection Management
BACKGROUND: During the COVID-19 pandemic, more health care issues were being managed remotely. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are being managed more often using telehealth although few reports compare the rate of UTI ancillary service orders placed and fulfilled during these visits. OBJECTIVES: We aimed to evaluate and compare the rate of ancillary service orders and order fulfillments in incident UTI diagnoses between virtual and in-person enco…
Development of a Common Data Model for a Multisite and Multiyear Study of Virtual Visit Implementation
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: In multisite studies, a common data model (CDM) standardizes dataset organization, variable definitions, and variable code structures and can support distributed data processing. We describe the development of a CDM for a study of virtual visit implementation in 3 Kaiser Permanente (KP) regions. METHODS: We conducted several scoping reviews to inform our study's CDM design: (1) virtual visit mode, implementation timing, and …
Patient Factors Associated With Use of Adult Primary Care and Virtual Visits During the Covid-19 Pandemic
BACKGROUND: The delivery of adult primary care (APC) shifted from predominately in-person to modes of virtual care during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is unclear how these shifts impacted the likelihood of APC use during the pandemic, or how patient characteristics may be associated with the use of virtual care. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study using person-month level datasets from 3 geographically disparate integrated health care systems was …
